PROGRESS

Today, when I look around in the world, what do i see

I see footprints that man have left on the sand

While waking through times

I see fruits of our ambitions

Figments of our imaginations

And I ask myself, when will it end, when will it end

It is plain to see universally this land is not bountiful as it was

Simply because in its quest for success

Nothing stands in man's way

Old rivers run dry, soon the birds wouldn't fly

The mountains will be no longer high

And when I really think of it

I does wonder why, oh why

I see charity deplored, equal rights totally ignored

Wisdom and ingenuity working in accord, simply to afford

Such inventions as total nuclear warfare and environmental warfare

And I wonder now, where do we go from here

Prophets everywhere gaze upon the

horizon and declare that judgment will come

As the savage hands of unscrupulous men defile everything pass by

Time is running out as we eat and

drink species at the brink of being extinct

And I think no one can deny that the

price of progress is high, real high

I see consciousness as bait, as today we live recklessly

Money, lately goes inflate and thereby create a turbulent state

I see a struggle between the sexes

New hang-ups and old complexes

Now the question is

Right in context, what shall by next

I've already seen this world have

come divided between race, colour, creed

And class

And some of the things the scripture predict truthfully come to past

Soil that wouldn't bare

Children making children to be a part of this growing mass

And I ask, if this is progress?

How long will it last
